I'll have to one up you on that one baha.
The LANs we have in a mate's shed a few times a year, fits about 25ish people. Fun nights.
It was like, halfway through summer, hence the multitudes of fans.

Did everybody bring their own comp? Surely he doesn't own 25 rigs? That's pretty sick.
Yeah, everyone brings their own stuff around and we just play whatever games we feel like. LAN 24 player CSS is quite fun :P
Hah reminds me of year 12.
We had COD1 and installed it on all 12 of our designated computers in our Year 12 common room. It was a small enough file it slipped through the "game filter".
So almost every lunch time it would just be a 12 player COD LAN and people raged because they wanted to do work.
So IT department deleted the files from everybodys computer.
So we reinstalled it onto the C: drive as it couldn't be deleted.
So IT wrote a macro which was something like "when cod1.exe is opened, delete file".
So we reinstalled it onto the C: drive and each time we went to play it we renamed it to a random assortment of numbers and letters.
(by now we were in term 3 with our LANs starting late term 1)
So IT would periodically come into the common room and visually see us playing and temp ban us from computers.
So we had a system where one person would be on watch for teachers with a walkie talkie and would alert us so we would turn it off and open up work.
So IT caught onto this and spent over $10,000 on a system which could see the screens of students.

We finished year 12 3 weeks later...
GG IT department.
That is actually hilarious baha. I'm in year 12 at the moment, and our IT department gave years 7-10 Macbooks as personal computers, and year 11 and 12 the old shitty HPs they used. They monitor the macs, but don't monitor the HP's as much, so we just deleted the software off the laptop that they use to check up on us, and LAN warcraft 3 a lot haha.
I remember pretty much last year, when everyone had RE at the same time, we'd have a half life two deathmatch server with like 20-30 people on it.
EchoFive, your not alone . I'm gonna switch out the Qck Sc2 edition for the Team Liquid Razer mouse pad :3. Also partly because it's a QcK mini and it's kinda small
It's been cleaned up a bit since the photo, new tower / computer etc but gives the idea Silver box on the right is a home theatre amp with bookshelf speakers behind the screens for audio. Steelseries 7G now and Logitech G9X mouse on the desk.
Edit: Rep response - Yeah it's got eyefinity capability, but honestly I rarely use it as I find having 3 independent monitors more useful in terms of dragging different window's around etc. Can have something like GSL on one screen, Aussie stream / steam chat on another and SC2 in the centre.
